Getting to know Michael Watson

Hello, I'm Michael. Do you experience daily stressors from your current environment, work, or family? Do you find yourself struggling with work/life balance, pouring into others but seldom having enough time to practice appropriate self-care? As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University, I am passionate about utilizing a holistic approach to assist my clients. This approach allows me to draw from multiple theories and techniques to engage individuals in their current exploration of life. I believe in providing education on the importance of wellness and the benefits of mental and physical preparedness. I will provide a professional, calming environment where you will feel safe from judgment and criticism.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As your therapist, I will provide a safe non-judgemental environment where you can freely express your mental health concerns without experiencing negative stigmatism regarding your mental health. My goal is to ensure every client is treated with genuineness and receives an excellent level of care.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
